What’s Worth Watching on QUEST TV This Tuesday

With Tuesday’s schedule on QUEST TV, the channel offers a mix of high-stakes treasure hunting and comedy. From the meticulous restorations of Salvage Hunters to the sharp wit of Mock The Week, there’s something for every viewer. This guide highlights the standout episodes without overpromising.

Salvage Hunters

06:00-07:00 (London time): Magic Lantern. Blacksmith Nev and stained-glass maker Gordon revamp a damaged gothic lantern. Ted works on a rusty pedal plane, while Alex repurposes a huge table. This episode showcases craftsmanship at its finest, though the pacing feels deliberate rather than urgent.

07:00-08:00 (London time): Vintage Retro. In Tyne and Wear Drew tries to satisfy a customer with a taste for mid-century chic. Plus, he is enchanted by a former friary where a rare mirror catches his eye. The search for vintage pieces remains engaging, but the reliance on luck can feel like gambling.

My take: The show’s dedication to restoration is admirable, but it lacks tension for casual viewers. Still, it’s one of the better options for those who appreciate the art of reviving forgotten objects.

Aussie Gold Hunters

08:00-09:00 (London time): A dead man’s diary leads Brent Shannon on a quest for a stash of lost gold. Paul Mackie takes a big risk when he buys a batch of high-value paydirt. The high stakes create genuine tension, though outcomes hinge heavily on luck.

09:00-10:00 (London time): Melanie and Alex’s mining future hinges on their revolutionary $400,000 dry blower. Newcomers Sheryl and Simon struggle to find new ground. This segment highlights financial risks and determination, delivering consistent drama.

My take: The show is reliable but predictable. The stakes feel high, yet outcomes often depend on chance. It’s worth watching for the genre’s fans, though not for those craving innovation.

Mock The Week

23:00-00:00 (London time): Dara Ó Briain is back with a summer run of topical chat and games featuring Rhys James, Ed Gamble, Laura Lexx, Sara Pascoe, Josh Pugh and Ahir Shah. The humor is sharp and the banter lively, though it can feel polarizing for some viewers.

My take: The comedy remains consistently strong, but the topics often divide audiences. If you appreciate witty, topical humor, this is a solid choice—though not universally appealing.

Transformers: Revenge Of The Fallen

20:00-23:00 (London time): The evil Decepticons regroup with a new plan to destroy the world. It’s up to college student Sam to help Optimus Prime and the Autobots save the day! The movie’s action sequences feel dated compared to modern CGI standards, but it retains nostalgic charm.

My take: It’s still entertaining for franchise fans, though the special effects won’t impress newer viewers. The core story remains engaging if you’re willing to forgive the dated visuals.

Bottom line: Whether you crave the meticulous world of restoration or the quick wit of comedy, QUEST TV delivers consistent entertainment. Salvage Hunters offers satisfying craftsmanship, while Mock The Week provides smarter humor than expected. Don’t skip the high-stakes gold rush episodes either.
